DPermaDeath is an advanced permadeath plugin designed for Paper/Spigot 1.21.x servers, focused on hardcore seasonal gameplay with limited lives and progressive elimination.

Instead of a simple “die once and you’re out” system, this plugin builds a complete survival experience around tension and long-term progression. Players have a configurable number of lives, lose one on death, and once they reach zero, their fate depends on server settings: spectator mode, ban, or assignment to a “dead” group.

Each season can be manually started or paused, includes a day counter, and persists all player data across sessions.
